The Bumsnet/Angry Pubes Bus

[Mummyofonesofar]

If you can keep up with a bus that fills up in one weekend and chat shit then jump aboard the bus you are never allowed to leave! Trying to set a target for most BFPs on one bus!

No LPBs allowed!

##### STATS #####

Thanks Clearblue but I guess I was expecting the dual hormone kit with the twenty sticks! Oh well...!

Frog yes it was me and MrsE!

Reading back now but have a question anyone else had b6 delay ov

Bit of a dower today too. Had an awful nights sleep for some reason and woke up with sciatica. Dh is being a miserable ungrateful git. We argued all the way around flipping Aldi this morning. Dh's sister and fiance are coming round Sunday for dinner and the house is a filthy tip. I'm working tomorrow so only got today to clean the place up. Dh is leaving it all to me as he's 'resting' today. Lazy fucker. The thought of doing all the housework by myself with my bad back is making me feel like crying.

I was doing the upside down cycling thing ..my dp thought i was insane...

awww Victoria poor you my dp wouldn't dare leave it all to me normally! haha .. but he's gone for a 10hr shift while i have today off so think i better do it all!!

MissMartin are you new or have you had a name change?

Pikz, my B6 hasn't delayed ov. I had a massive LP last month but I don't believe the strength of my B6 could have any cycle-altering effects.

Victoria, what a prize dick. How dare he say he's a having a lazy day when his brother's coming? Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Well...I cam home to an exhausted and rather sheepish-looking DH who a) struggled to get the tot to sleep b) had to go to her at 10.45 as she had vomited all over the cot and her toys and herself He had to bath her and wash her bedding and toys He then couldn't get her back to sleep until 12.15am, at which point he had 'just about had enough' c) was woken by her at 6am as she was clearly starving (he had been too afraid to feed her after her spewnami, stupid man). He described last night's events to me as though he had just completed the Iron Man challenge. On one leg.

MissMartin, I read that as your DH had gone for a 10-hour shit. I wondered what the frig you're feeding him

Vic, these are for your sciatica Such a horrible pain to have to deal with.

Hi all, thanks to everyone for their kind words. Tessie , Spinning , Glittery and Frog and anyone I've missed, I am feeling a lot brighter this morning and am shortly going to commence housework and get shit done!

Sparkly I think I got those positive vibes you sent yesterday :) When DH and I first met, I was totally rubbish at voicing any kind of emotion, but I am so much better at it now- it just still takes me a bit of time to build up to saying something...

Purdey Good luck with the homecoming today. Give Nancy a cuddle and say 'I do hope Daddy is sorry for being a complete twunt last night and that he realises that mummy needs to vent on Bumsnet sometimes. Mummy also needs to feel valued in her home, otherwise mummy is left feeling resentful and wanting to kill daddy... Of course, mummy would never do this to daddy, but could potentially seriously maim him in a grotesque and painful manner.'

Victoria Sorry for your pain and lazy DH. That's really unfair.

Afternoon ladies.

Melon I think you and me are in the same boat. I've had two bfn's, af still isn't here on cd31 and this morning I've wound myself up because I got that metallic taste in my mouth that apparently is a big preggo sign! Why are our bodies so evil to us?!

Oops, cross posts Purdey Good to see that you're home and that your DH has had a vomit-filled, sleep deprived night. Best outcome all round really eh?

Ah Pikz!!! I remember now it was you who started the whole USDC phenomenon! We have some post DTD giggles doing it. What happened with MrsE did she get her BFP? I dropped off the buses around October (I think).

Miss Martin it is quite a sight, ha ha the things we do eh?

Eskimo glad to hear you are feeling brighter today! That's really good to hear.

Purdey & Vic both your DHs need blender awards. Hope you guys kick them into touch so peace and harmony is restored in your homes

I'm having the laziest of lazy days, I haven't even got dressed I'm just sat in my pjs lazy cow MrF has made lunch and is now playing some computer game and I am getting some advanced nesting in, and crocheting a cute little baby blanket.

Abi, I often get that metallic taste in my mouth before realising I've left the spoon in my brew. Could it be that?

Eskimo, my thoughts precisely

Hi everyone- sorry I've not been responding to much, been waiting for AF since Wednesday, but nothing yet :( Don't even feel like it will be today either. Still getting bfn- so unfair!!

Am watching a sleeping toddler in the car out the window so this post could get cut short at any time.

Sorry purdey and vic that DH is being a twunk. A bad night should help him wake up a bit purdey.

Eskimo sorry for the tears its a hard road ttc. I had no periods after coming off the pill before DS. With some help I got there and you will too.

Melon and abi sorry your still waiting...it's rubbish :(

Night and spinning only a week to wait :) Christmas babies here you come

Sparkly am crossing everything for a Christmas baby for you...you name makes it mean it has to happen right!

Pixa baby bombs suck I get at least 2 a week

Sammy and oyster enjoy your hols

Frog yep mrse got her bfp around the same time as kitty

Missmartin upside down cycling is the way forward

Creme crossing fingers for you

I'm on cd19 and no ov yet :( Christmas baby looking unlikely

However I have just had breakfast with the Easter bunny and done a egg hunt and we only had one potty training accident, so going to look on the upside, also only 2 more days of single parenting and DH will be home. Maybe ov is waiting for him!

sparkly Am I right in thinking you've completed one month of the CB trial? Is that what you got sent as a thank you? Better than nothing I suppose [hmmm]. Go get yourself on ebay and get a bargain box of the nice purple ones.

Anyone who fancies the clearblue clinical trail (just about to finish a month of it myself) here's the link:

Purdey I know I asked if anything was doing anything interesting this weekend but walking out on t'husband wasn't quite what I had in mind. Well don Nancypants for puking everywhere, girl power!

Eskimo I did wonder if maybe there was hormonal involvement in you weepy blip? I suffer badly in the lead up to af, and the mini pill did horrific things to an already depressed state of butterchunk brain (although the constant spotting did make it a highly effective contraceptive). Maybe you've got some progesterone building up in your system, gearing up for a long awaited shark week, here's hoping!

Frogbubbles I am also being a lazybum advance nesting, in bed, watching old eps of OBEM and teaching myself to knit continental style; been doing a lot of crochet lately (am usually a knittist) and have read how this way of knitting is similar (and takes less effort)

dpo 8 today, nothing to report. testing everyday since dpo 5 on wed

Wallowing in self pity post alert ....... Af is on her way,despite being so good and chilled this month, I had let myself picture a week old baby in a Santa suit so now I am sitting her with snot and tears dribbling on my iPad to everyone who is having a bad tine for whatever reason. I will read back and catch up when I get over this blip

So sorry to hear that Riceicle. Sometimes the hardest thing about TTC is the unfairness of it all. You can do everything right, yet not get your baby, while others have one drunken shag & that is it! As Purds always tells me when I have a meltdown, this is partly your hormones talking. You will get your baby soon, and all this will just seem like a bad dream.

Eskimo, I am glad you are feeling brighter today. You are far too lovely to be upset.

Purds, that is hilarious! Go Nancy Pants! Looks like she showed Daddy exactly what Mummy normally has to deal with.

I am feeling pretty happy today. Got my positive OPK yesterday & I am having twinges today, so it looks like the egg will soon drop. We DTD Weds night, last night & this morning, som there should be lots of energetic tadpoles ready to leap on my egg!

Thank you Pikz Do you mind me asking what 'help' you had? Was it clomid to make you ovulate? Hope you make some more eggs soon... and not of the Easter variety. What does the Easter bunny eat for brekkie? Is it bacon?

Butter I live in hope, although I did stop knicker watch weeks ago. I have been taking Agnus Castus for nearly 3 weeks and nothing so far. It has until Tuesday to work and then the progesterone tablets need to be started...

crème FX for you.

Riceicle Sorry to hear that AF is on the way. Hope you feel more cheery soon.

Nomio Yay for positive OPKs! Sending lots of gravity filled thoughts to your egg. Hope your ovaries vom it up soon

Oh Riceicle- me too :( that's two of us feeling truly rubbish. for you too. Tried to cheer myself by making fun plans for Easter with DH but he just said "oh, I don't really get Easter. I haven't got you anything because you said you didn't want an Easter Egg" so I guess that isn't going to happen either! Pathetic thing to get upset over, but to be honest I have been so unhappy since my mmc in December for several different reasons and just wanted to organise something fun. DH is super stressed at the moment too so I don't want to bring him down by telling him how much everything is getting to me. ALL I want is to be pregnant! Nome is right- its the unfairness that stings the most. So annoyed that I'm both late for my period and not pregnant.

Sorry for the long rant... feeling sad but I'll get over it!

Getting shagging nomio

Ricicles big hugs

Eskimo they found out I was ovulating but adhesions and endo were stopping me having any periods I had a lap and hysteroscopy to remove them all and three months later was pregnant with DS

It's hard going through it all and I had lots of tears. If the pills make you have a bleed it's unlikely you have internal issues stopping your periods. Sounds like your body needs a kick starter. Some times a hsg can do that or clomid or it restarts on its own.

To give you another story of hope I had a friend who got pregnant 9 months after coming off the pill with no periods at all. Her body just took its time

Big hugs Riceicle Hang in there, your baby will come, maybe picture it dressed as cupid for valentines day instead.

Nomio nice shagging, keep at it

Been for a run and sowed a load more seeds down the allotment. About to head off to Devon so must get my best behaviour for the in-laws head on.

Aw piks that's lovely I wish I had felt strong enough (mentally) to be able to check in on people and see how they were doing. Breakfast with Easter bun sounds fun!!!

Ah butter our days sound very similar. Although I'm watching Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix. What are you making? I'd like to have as much handmade stuff as possible so thought I might as well get cracking with some blankets.

Aww rice & creme sending lots of hugs and positive vibes to get you through this

Nom nice work!!!

Oh fantastic! Well done Nancy! Purdey you definitely didn't want to return to find she had slept soundly!! Thanks for looking at my chart....

Eskimo I like your word 'twunt'

I called DH a 'blend' the other day, oh how I laughed! Must admit DH did too!!!

Tessie I had to tone it down for Nancy's sake. Her tender little ears didn't need to hear what I really meant.

Pikz Thank you for your kind words. Stories of hope are exactly what I need to hear!

oyster out sowing your seed
